I thought it was a last quarter sling tackle in the forward pocket

    He was penalised twice with kicks for "dangerous tackles". Both ridiculous.

    That article implies it was for the first, straight on, one? I could half understand if it was the sling in the last quarter, but if it's that first one that is an absolute disgrace.

    Yep, it refers to the one in the second quarter where Pickett goes straight into the front of a Lion player.

    Disgrace from the MRO. Would love the club to challenge it but it's not worth the money.

    I think the 2nd one which he has been fined for was dangerous and he was very lucky not to knock him out. 
     

    The first one on the mid wing was a horrible decision

    What a load of horse [censored]. 

    I only remember 1 and it was a hard, uncompromising and bone jarring tackle. 
     

    FFS this ain’t netball. (That’s basically what I screamed out when a free was given)
     

    Bloody pathetic. 

    If the club is not going to challenge it then they need to pay the fine for Kozzie.

    So much for that r sole Gerard Healy saying Nev “led with his head”. Clearly McStay “led with his elbow”.

    This is the side of Pickett that I don't want them to dumb down.  I hope that, even with the fine, he doesn't change the way he plays in the coming weeks.  I want him to hunt the opposition and provide that 'implied pressure' week in, week out.

    The fine is a joke, and I hope the club tells him as much.

    It was the sling tackle in the last quarter. The 3rd quarter was deemed a spear tackle.

    Hilarious (and a f*cking joke) if that is the case

    That spear tackle was absolutely a joke. The sling was more about consistency. Viney was slung similarly earlier in the game and got nadda.

    Spear tackle?!!! This is a spear tackle:

    So the outcome has no relevance any more? A guy who uses his momentum (all 70kg and 171cm) brings down a 90kg and 193cm player and it is somehow deemed dangerous? The Brisbane player was stunned.... he got a free!! The more I see the less I like this game and where it's headed.

    Congrats to Goodwin tonight for defending our players on AFL 360... not!  Goodwin better be saying other things behind closed doors because players can sense BS!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
